Rilakkuma On Hamburger Happy Meal Toy 拉拉熊快乐餐

Rice Based Food Art - Rilakkuma On Hamburger Happy Meal Toy 拉拉熊快乐餐. Made of cooked rice added some pumpkin and soy sauce for the colour, healthy and adorable kids meal. 

Rilakkuma On Hamburger was the McDonald's free toy with any Happy Meal purchase. I have missed this toy as I wasn't aware of the promotion. I only managed to get the other three. To "complete" the set, I have made this toy with rice, take a picture and archived. :P 

Back in March 2018, McDonald's released a set of super adorable Rilakkuma toys:

• Rilakkuma on Hamburger
• Rilakkuma & Hamburger
• Korilakkuma & Drinks 
• Kiiroitori on Happy Meal Box

I loved them all but too bad I was not aware of the promotion and when I finally visited McDonald's on one of the weekend, I have missed the first one - Rilakkuma On Hamburger. 

I have 1 Kiiroitori on Happy Meal Box and 1 Rilakkuma & Hamburger extra, all new and sealed. If anyone have Rilakkuma On Hamburger extra and keen to trade the toy, kindly contact Miki's Food Archives via pm. I'm not interested to buy, so if you're a seller, please do not contact me. Thank you.

Keroppi Matcha Steamed Bun aka Green Tea Tau Sar Pao 抹茶豆沙包

Keroppi Matcha Steamed Bun aka Green Tea Tau Sar Pao, aren't they cute? 

I have been wanting to make this since last year when my boy told me he loves Keroppi. I don't like to use artificial colouring in my boy's food so green tea powder is my first choice, it's easy to blend into the dough without the need of extracting juice from green plants such as spinach or pandan leaves. Just mix some green tea powder into the dough and it looks perfectly green and it will not affect the taste of the steamed bun. I have got some red bean paste at home, just nice for the green tea steamed bun fillings, they're the perfect match! 

In the past, when I need to make small amount of steamed bun, I'd have to knead the dough with hands because it's pretty hard to knead small portion of dough using my KA stand mixer. Now that I have my Song Cho bread maker, I can let it do the kneading. I'm impressed with the small but really powerful mixing blade in this bread maker. It really saved my energy and time. This is the bread maker that I would highly recommend to my readers. :)

Ingredients: Yield 7 Keroppi buns

85g Cold Milk 冷牛奶 85克

20g Sugar 细砂糖 20克

1 tsp Oil 油 1小匙

150g Plain Flour 中筋面粉 150克

1/2 tsp Instant Dry Yeast 即溶酵母 1/2小匙

3/4 tsp Green Tea Powder 抹茶／绿茶粉 3/4 小匙

80g-100g Red Bean Paste 红豆沙 80-100克


Optional: Skip this if you're using food grade marker to draw the details.

Red Rice Powder and Charcoal Powder 红菊粉和黑炭粉，适量

1-2 tbsp Fresh Milk, if needed 牛奶，适量
